A California woman is suing Jelly Belly over claims that they allegedly misrepresented an ingredient in their Sport Beans which lead her to believe that they did not contain sugar.

Jessica Gomez of San Bernadino County filed a class action lawsuit earlier this year in a California state court against Jelly Belly claiming they violated California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law and Unfair Business Practices Law, according to Legal Newsline.

Gomez claims that Jelly Belly listed "evaporated cane juice" instead of "sugar" in the ingredients list to falsely advertise their Sport Beans to athletes as healthier than they actually are.

But Jelly Belly called Gomez's claims "nonsense" in a motion to dismiss the claims in April.

"No reasonable consumer could have been deceived by Sport Beans' labeling," the company said in their motion. "Gomez could not have seen 'evaporated cane juice' without also seeing the product's sugar content on its Nutrition Facts panel."

While it does seem unlikely that a consumer would read the ingredients list but miss the grams of sugar in the nutrition facts, Gomez might have a case in California.

"False advertising cases are fairly common in California, which is known for its strong consumer protection laws," Jordan Elias, an attorney with Girard Gibbs LLP in San Francisco, told Legal Newsline.

Jelly Belly also seems to not be in accordance with the May 2016 FDA decision that sweeteners should not be referred to by the term "evaporated cane juice" as it could mislead consumers into thinking it is made from fruit or vegetable juice.

That said, Jelly Belly does seem to have a point against Gomez, arguing that the "Plaintiff also does not explain why an athlete – or anyone – would be surprised to find sugar in a product described as 'Jelly Beans'."
